Hibernian vs Rangers Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership

Hibernian are eighth in the Scottish Premiership but a win over league leaders Rangers will take them to within five points of their Glasgow opponents. The home side made a bright start to the season but then went through a patch of seven games without a win. They have recovered with a win over struggling Hamilton and then their shock home win over Celtic. This is their first clash with Rangers this season with the sides meeting again on Boxing Day. Home form this season has seen Hibs win four, draw three and only St Johnstone have come away with a win.

Rangers were knocked out of the Europa League last week but bounced back with a win over Hamilton to go back to the top of the Scottish Premiership. The win on Sunday ended a run of three games without a win including being held to a draw at Dundee who were bottom of the table. Away form hasn't been impressive for Rangers this season with only three wins in eight in the Scottish Premiership and five in the last 22 in all competitions. A difficult game to predict and the suggested tip is under 2.5 goals to be scored in the match.
